I've been thinking about getting another digital watch for some time now. I had one in the 1970s when they first came out, and thought it might be cool to have one back in the collection. Has anyone here picked up one of the new digital tunas yet, or thinking about getting one?

I thought you would be too young to remember the 70's Adam but I'd go for a bit of colour.

I remember them very well. It was popular then.
I agree with Eddie - color (colour)...

I was still at school, but my dad bought it for me from the NAAFI shop at RAF Brize Norton. It was the bee's knees in those days.

Surprisingly, a friend and I came across an article of this watch and was recently contemplating getting one. But my six and a half inch wrist may not be able to carry the 49mm watch. My max so far is my 44mm PAM and that is also pushing the boundaries. That being said, this really is a sexy looking watch. I love the all black and my buddy was lusting over the one with a bit of colour. We will have to wait till we can get one to try in the flesh before we make a decision. But I have recently acquired a Seiko AGAM 404 which kinda fulfilled my lust for a digital watch for now. So yes...us analog freaks will also look at digital watches :)

Size is definitely an issue. I feel like my 45mm turtle may about as large as I can go without looking silly. I'll try one on, anyway, and see how it feels....maybe next month in BKK if I can't get into town here before I go.

Big pity about the plastic bezel, thats a deal breaker for me but they otherwise look good.

Very nice. I think the Pepsi is the one to get.
